Hopefully someone can answer this for me.
Why is it that no matter what size I save an image as that the wallpaper setter always wants me to crop it? I just ran an image through Gimp to re-size it to fit the dimensions of the boot image for the boot image app, bit even at 255x320 the wallpaper tool wants to crop most of the image away. What size image does the darn thing want? Maybe I'm a tech-tard, but I thought I should be able to figure this out on my own.
Thanks for any help you can give me on this, it's been bugging me for a while now.
Can't remember exactly what the wallpaper size is, but I do know I could never get it to work.
Here's what I learnt off another post here.
Download Wallpaper Slide show (Birbeck) from the Market and download any size wallpaper and point the app to that folder, usually downloads. Then select wallpaper slide show under live wallpapers, have it set randomn or whatever you want.
Then you have nice pictures with no need to mess about cropping or downloading exact sizes.
You can change wallpapers on the fly just by tapping on the screen.
Thanks Xoom68,
I'll give it a try.
Try 1920 x 1408

I'm not familiar with how to resize images. I have tried many online websites to change the size of a particular image to fit perfectly on the nexus one as a wallpaper. As you'll see in the picture I would like to keep the entire "TRIGUN" word without it being cutoff when I'm forced to crop for it to be a wallpaper.
Can anyone help me out and resize the image to fit perfectly as a wallpaper. I would be so grateful and so would other Trigun fans.
I am trying to keep the picture as a whole if that is possible
960x800 is the sizing of the wallpapers in Launcer2.apk, so that is what I re-sized this to.

I don't think the image would be in the same quality uploaded to the forum so I uploaded it to photobucket.
Thank you so much. I appreciate your help
probably something really stupid I'm not doing but how do you set the wallpaper so it's panning..not fixed/stationary.. I used to be able to set wallpaper that as you swiped back and forth through home pages the wallpaper would show more of the original image... I can't stretch that cropping wallpaper tool the whole size of the wallpaper.. just in a portrait type rectangle shape.... what the heck am I doing wrong?
Hi, I'm making my own custom wallpaper. I know that the single screen size for the Galaxy S 4g is 480x800. A full desktop is 960x800. The 960x800 wallpaper works just fine on my phone. I'm running ICBINB GB KH1 rom. Now I don't care for scrolling wallpaper, so I made my wallpaper 480x800. When I chose the wallpaper, it gives me the option to crop at 480x800 or 960x800. I chose the 480x800 option, size it up to make sure the whole picture is in the crop and save. Choosing this crop option when prompted on the phone, stops the scrolling. So again, the phone gives you two options to crop. They are 960x800 (multiple home pages that scroll) or 480x800 (single home page that will not scroll, just like a lockscreen.) Now I know this method works, as it works perfectly fine on my brothers stock Galaxy S 4G, as well as my second brother's Galaxy S2. I'm wondering if it is just an issue with this rom. Anyone else running this rom have this issue?
Your absolutely right. It should work just as you described. I am running the same rom and it doesn't work for me either. Some say you can get an app to set wallpaper, but I thought getting an app to do something so basic as setting wallpaper was a not an option I wanted to take. I only use 2 home screens. So basically what I did was make a side by side image of my 480x800 image so that it ends up being one 960x800 image. Then it fits just fine. So when I scroll to the second homepage I still get the full 480x800 image for both home screens. Of course this only works for 2 home screens. Take a look at what I mean with having to make my image side by side to make a full 960x800 image:
you could take you image into photoshop or another image editing program and rescale the image down to the size you want
android always asks me to crop the image, but i just want to use the whole thing as a non-scrollable background. how do i do it? thanks!
p.s. rom=hypernonsense
Wallpaper Wizardrii from the market. Select your picture, use non-scroll and scale options. Problem solved.
thanks, got it!
I recently purchased a Moto X and instantly fell in love with all the phone had to offer. I like to change the wallpaper around and found that when i download a wallpaper and set it, the black bar appears on the bottom of the phone, making the phone's screen appear smaller.
I went to gallery and on the set to wallpaper, I pinched to zoom in just a tad, set, and long behold the blackbar was gone. I was running apex launcher. The tip is pretty simple but i'm sure there are users out there that have no idea.
If this helped you feel free to send a thanks over! :good:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Hi, I'm having this problem. But pinching doesn't seems to work, or maybe I don't know how you did it, could you please explain a little more?
PS. Sorry, english is not my first language
What's the image size of the wallpaper?
Today I Found that if you Download the wallpaper or image size of 1080x1920 There would be no need to pinch to zoom, you just set the wallpaper from gallery with the size of 1080x1920
Here are steps:
1. Download wallpaper/Image (size 1080x1920 )
2. Open gallery and find your downloaded image
3. Click settings button, click "set picture as"
4. Click set wallpaper. (If your size isn't 1080x1920, then you will have to zoom in until the blackbar is gone )
The web site that i use for most my wallpapers is interfacelift. Size is 1080x1920,
Let me know if this helped you out.
Also just cropping it with photos instead of gallery works
Image 2 Wallpaper app in the play store works great for all picture sizes....it's free.

Actually any 720x1280 image will work, notice that i did not say 1280x720.
the minimum height of the image should be 1280 and width of 720 or more, the important thing to make the black bar disappear is to beminimum height of 1280
We are used to seeing images of the shape of our monitors, 720 high and 1280 long
